c NTTED STATES PATENT @Ferca IMPROVEMENT IN WRAPPERS FOR BONBNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 187,495, dated February 20, 1877; application tiled December 1, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISABELLA J. VAN SKEL- I LINE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of' New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wrappers for Mottoes, Bonbons, 85e., which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification 'and aceompan yin g drawing.

This invention relates to a new article of manufacture, and is designed for mottoes and for wrapping bonbons, comfits, flowers, or oth- .er similar articles for trade purposes.

My invention consists of' a sheet of paper having a plain center, and crimped, fringed,

and colored at the edges, as more' fully hereinafter set forth. A

In the drawing, Figure l represents a view of a rectangular wrapper constructed according to. my invention, and Fig. 2 represents a view of another form of' said wrapper.

Similar papers as heretofore constructed have been formed of' plain colored papers simply fringed at the ends, without any additional coloring or ornamentation at said ends; and by means of my improvement a paper having p a much more highly-ornamented, flowery, and

paper being subsequently eut longitudinally midway along the crimped portions, forming each sheet into a series of smaller sheets having crimped edges. These sheets may then be cut upinto smaller sheets, and the crimped edges separated or fringed, forming rectangular bonbon-wrappers, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.

It is evident, however, that other forms may.

The papers as thus colored have a much li gh ter and more flowery effect than when constructed of' paper of' a single tint, and, owing to the crim ps, present a much more ornamental appearance 'than when left plain at the edges. Besides, when the paper is separa-ted between the creases ofthe crimp, the slightlycorrugated form given that portion between such creases tends to stit'fen said parts, and keep them regularly and uniformly in place, preventing the tangling and knotting attendant upon the frnging of plain paper.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a paper for mottoespbonbons, and the like, consisting of' a sheet having a plain center, and crimped, fringed, and colored at the edges, substantially as set forth.

ISABELLA J. VAN SKELLINE.
